Twilight actor Robert Pattinson has a hair raising experience - London

The vegetarian vampires of the Twilight saga are like vegetarian humans who call themselves vegetarian but say they eat chicken. Yeah…not really.

But if you’re a vampire living in Forks, Washington, then refraining from eating humans and eating forest creatures instead is vegetarian. Vampire readers in Forks, you know what we’re talking about right? Never mind, we don’t really want that question answered.

Robert Pattinson plays vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen, who thanks to his “vegetarian” diet, has topaz colored eyes. The producers couldn’t find a real human with topaz colored eyes, so when Robert got the part, they forced him to wear topaz colored contact lenses. And they can make a vegetarian vampire quite grumpy.

He told Britain’s Ok Magazine he isn’t looking forward to shooting the sequel New Moon, because he has to wear the lenses.

“It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball.”

Not only that, but they inhibit vampire seductive skills.

“It was frustrating as well because normally your eyes are saying something, but if you’ve got two orange blobs in your face it’s so annoying! The director would say, ‘Look at her (Kristen Stewart) like you love her,’ and I’d be like, ‘I’m trying!'”

At least he gets the reward of munching on some forest critters in his trailer between scenes.
